Themisto'genes
(
Θεμιστογένης), of Syracuse, is said by Xenophon (
Xenoph. Hell. 3.1.2) to have written a work on the Anabasis of Cyrus ; but most modern writers, following the statement of Plutarch (
de Gloria Athen. p. 361), suppose that Xenophon really refers to his own work, to which he prefixed the name of Themistogenes.
It appears, however, that Themistogenes is not a fictitious name, since Suidas says (
s. v.) that he wrote other works. (C. Miller,
Fragm. Historic. Graec. vol. ii. p. 74, Paris, 1848.)
